Within a rapidly evolving aerospace industry, the need to adapt and innovate aerospace manufacturing production processes is becoming increasingly apparent. This, in combination with a need to meet faster time-to-market demands for increasingly complex, interconnected and feature-rich aerospace products, means there is a requirement for graduates who are well-equipped to manage the related manufacturing processes. Aerospace manufacturing is responsible for the design, development, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and their components. This industry is constantly innovating and pushing the boundaries of technology, which makes it an exciting and rewarding field in which to work. Specialist skills of aerospace production systems are vital to drive productivity improvements. On the MSc in Aerospace Manufacturing, you will gain the sought-after capabilities to manage major improvement programmes in the aerospace manufacturing industry or instigate intervention that delivers improvements to the performance of the businesses.
To develop your understanding of aircraft assembly methods and techniques that are effective and efficient and at the same time meet quality and safety requirements.
The aim of this module is to provide you with a holistic understanding of sustainable manufacturing, materials and processes in the context of aerospace manufacturing. Provide an understanding of the standards the regulations as well as the design criteria for manufacturing parts, components and structures of airframes and engines. Introduce the key skills required to address multi-faceted problems of aerospace manufacturing processes and operations.
To develop your understanding of complex manufacturing systems engineering through the application of different modelling and simulation tools, techniques and methodologies with a view to analyse and (re)design manufacturing systems that maximise efficiency, productivity and competitiveness.
To introduce you to the core factors of managing operations and the concept of flow in operations.
To introduce you to the wider issues surrounding the management and optimisation of supply chains.
